To be honest with you, I use both of them where it makes sense.
If you return the tuple [number, number, number, number] in your API, it is easyer to mix them up than 4 fields with a meaningful name.
I won't say that you should not use tuples. const [x, y, z] = vec3() is a good example where everyone will understand this without any docs, but use everything at the right place 😉
(Technically, [number, number, number, number] is a quadruple, not a tuple. Tuple specifically refers to two-element lists)
That said, yes, the rule of thumb is to only do this for actual tuples, where the two elements are implicitly clear: one for state, one to modify, and in that order. Otherwise, as much as it bloats the resulting runtime, prefer keys to allow omitting an element declaratively, i.e. by specifying the other two elements you wish to retrieve.
(exceptions exist, such as cases where all elements are mandatory to the consumer in every case)
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse

Totally agree 😀
